Frequently Asked Questions About Curd cheese börek filling
What is curd cheese börek filling made of?
Curd cheese börek filling is usually made with lor, a mild Turkish whey cheese, and may include egg, herbs, and seasoning. Recipes vary, but the cheese should be drained if wet so the pastry does not become soggy.
How do you make curd cheese börek filling?
To make curd cheese börek filling, crumble the lor and mix it with chopped parsley, seasoning, and an egg if you want a firmer filling. Keep the mixture fairly dry, then spread it evenly over the pastry before shaping.
Is lor the same as cottage cheese for börek filling?
No, lor and cottage cheese are not exactly the same, although both can be used in curd cheese börek filling. Lor is a Turkish whey cheese with a mild flavor; cottage cheese is usually wetter, so drain it well before using.
How do you stop curd cheese börek filling from making pastry soggy?
Drain the cheese thoroughly to keep curd cheese börek filling from making pastry soggy. Avoid adding too much yogurt or other liquid, and cook watery vegetables such as spinach first, then squeeze out their moisture before mixing them in.
Can you use feta in curd cheese börek filling?
Yes, feta can be mixed into curd cheese börek filling, but it is saltier and sharper than lor. Taste the mixture before adding extra salt; using feta alone also works, though it gives the börek a stronger flavor and a different texture.
What herbs go well in curd cheese börek filling?
Parsley and dill pair well with curd cheese börek filling, and finely chopped green onion is another common addition. Dry the herbs after washing and chop them finely so they add flavor without making the filling watery.
Which pastries can you fill with curd cheese börek filling?
Curd cheese börek filling works in rolled, layered, or triangular börek made with yufka or phyllo-style pastry. Spread it in a thin, even layer; overfilling can split the pastry or cause the cheese mixture to leak while baking.
Can you freeze curd cheese börek filling?
Yes, you can freeze curd cheese börek filling, although thawed lor may release water and become grainier. Freeze it in an airtight container, thaw it in the refrigerator, then drain off any liquid before using it.
How long does curd cheese börek filling keep in the fridge?
Curd cheese börek filling keeps for about one day in a covered container in the refrigerator, especially if it contains egg or fresh herbs. Keep it chilled until you assemble the börek, and discard it if it has been left out for hours.
Can you eat curd cheese börek filling without baking it?
Yes, curd cheese börek filling can be eaten without baking if it contains fresh, properly stored lor and herbs. Do not eat it raw if you mixed in uncooked egg; the usual preparation is to bake the filling inside the pastry.
